Even the ex classmate no complain..

Shut up, who the Bleep is even his ex classmate.

If he had made that statement outside of office, nobody would care.

How can A VP be issuing such statement and you didn't see any problem in it, it shows how mentally not up to par some of you can be.

There's nothing wrong in what he said, however he lacks presentation and delivery. He didn't mean to denigrate the person of Oladipo but was telling them that there are many more qualifying people like his course mates hence the need to humble themselves and do their best for the masses.
I don't like APC government for anything and 'll never ever support them but it's actually stupid to be quoting him out of context. As an Obidient, I tell you for free that there's nothing wrong with his statement.
Everything is wrong with what he said.
1st, when he worked at Zenith, Shetima didnt attain that rank.

2: Shetima has never been an employer of labor, he doesnt know what it takes to form a company and have a payroll. His boss Jim Ovia would never describe his manager’s role in a such condescending manner.
3- The pay structure for a position is 4-6m/mon ie $4-6k /mon =$48-$72k/yr, this is a white collar middle income job in richest countries like US, Canada, Switzerland and co.
4- it shows that VP doesn't have respect for people working for him… most of whom, earn less than 1m/mon. His PAs/SAs dont make more 1m/mon legitimately… bribe and kickbacks no follow.

5- In his LGA, there may be no person with such a position in banking industry. Let him put some respect on it.

And it is because fate have placed you on a different pedestal? There is this defiant arrogance which is characteristics of hardliners like Shettima who are so egocentric. This is how how He called VP Osinbajo "Mr Nice Ice-cream man."

is he not an ice-cream man?
Has he won any election without a godfather?



.
What a disparaging and unstatemanly comment about a former colleague coming from the VP of an illegitimate government who rigged themselves in with the connivance of INEC.

This people knows that what they are paying senior and junior workers in both private and public sectors is appalling and pitiable

it is what the employees are worth
How much are they making?
What is their productivity
If they are worth so much they should go and start their own business and let the employer do it by himself then they can go and make millions



.
It is an eyesore that's why he made this statement. Imagine Nigeria min wage is $30! Just 30k for goodness sake. Professors and the bank manager salary this VP is dissing around is 400-500k!

Should b nothing less than 2m

It seems Shettima has a low IQ, does he expect all his ex-classmates to be VP?
The first class graduate is languishing in a local bank while he himself is a billionaire courtesy of the corrupt system of politics we have. He should keep shut because all he has, he got from politics.
He just buttressed the point. A nation where the sole measure of success is based on the amount of wealth one has is certainly heading for doom as everyone will do anything possible to amass the wealth.

what should be the measure of success
Why not face that
Why e de pain you say he be billionaire?



.
Nigeria is a case study, many are now into rituals and all forms of evil just to amass this wealth in order not to be seen as failures.

To Shettima any of his class mates who isn't at his level is a failure. Does that assumption make any sense to you?

Best Graduating student of Economics in Prestigious University of Ibadan Citadel of learning......

After 30 years of Graduation

Ended up becoming Deputy Branch Manager at a new generation bank like Polaris bank

30 years after graduation that he should be planing retirement he is a Deputy Manager

His total salary may not be up to 200,000 to 500,000 a month


He made this submission at University of Ibadan to remind student the intricacies of life

You are poor. No money in your account, nothing upstairs, nothing anywhere. If what you wrote is how you measure life, you are in very deep troublew. And there is no deputy general manager of any bank in Nigeria that earns 200-500k. They all earn more than that. You disgust sane people.

Yeah. And he was in the North East
I can bet he couldn't have moved up so fast if not for some affiliations he had.
It's easy to see through the line that he moved up because of his connection across North East and not necessarily competence at his job

Connection across NE. What makes you think he's not enterprising and he did not achieve his success as a consequence of excellence.

The best graduating student is often not the best candidate because academic excellence and character is not same

When did I say he didn't achieve his success based on excellence?
It's the North East we're talking about not some urban place. It's easy to move up in those places due to low level of competition and being an indigene of that area would certainly have helped his cause in achieving targets. If you have an idea of how communal northerners are, you'll understand what I'm saying.
Are you saying Oladipo's character flaw is the reason he isn't VP today? I beg to disagree.
Shettima is VP more because of his religion and region than anything else.
Secondly, to be the best graduating student in UI shows a level of excellence that you can't take away from him. So don't look to downplay that achievement just to excuse his lack of attainment of political post.

I never said Oladipo has a character flaw but he might not have the same drive. You need to realize that when in organisations it's not just intelligence it's also workplace politics and relationships; some people lack such skills and are otherwise content working within the bureaucratic system which can be slow and tedious. Not all everyone grabs life by tye scruff of life

Have you been to the NE. Because I'm certain you're making wild assumptions which is way beyond the facts. There is rampant poverty in Nigeria and lack of services in rural areas which is what you find a large quantity of in the northern provinces but the largest population of people living below the poverty-line live in the urban centres across Nigeria the urban people who are mostly farmers were wealthy enough to sustain their lives devoid of excess before the dangerous insecurities that has made them unable to farm in peace.

The most intelligent people I know personally in sectors including IT and advanced artificial intelligence are from the NW and NC and I don't live in Nigeria btw I've lived in Europe for 22 years. Some of the menay Nigerians lecturing in universities across the world I've come to know are from North ;Kano and Kaduna, Benue Plateau seem to produce many of these intellectuals and they are the most deligent and humble people I know. Devoid of pride and I dare say substantially more tolerant than I can drop ever claim to be.

It's evident your world view is limited from your perspective.

If you don't live in nigeria don't argue with those who do.
The NE is the poorest part of the country based on statistics. I can assure you the totality of Zenith banks in NE is not up to the number in Lagos alone. That's where Shettima became GM.
Secondly, you can show me example of a bank manager who resigned to pick up a commissioner post in Lagos or the South generally. That's what happened in the case of Shettima. He resigned from Zenith in 2007 to become commissioner under Modu Sheriff. I should expect that you'll understand there must have been some relationship between the two for him to get such a plum job from him. The probability of a bank manager getting such in the south is very low. Ogun state picked a Kemi Adeosun from UK to be commissioner.
The point I'm making is he played politics while being a staff of a private corporate. If he tried that in the south, he'll be out of office before you can say Jack. In fact, I can bet part of what sped up his career is probably accounts opened by politicians in Zenith bank under his name. You can attribute that to performance but be rest assured if it were in a normal banking sense, he will be questioned as to his relationship with those politicians. Banks fear exposure of a mid- level staff to politicians more than anything.
Lastly, I don't know what part of Europe you live but the majority of those who form the bulk of intelligentsia outside are southern Nigerians. It's a fact that's a old as Nigeria itself. Google first professional on any field in Nigeria and you'll hardly see a northerner there.

It is either VP Shettima was envious of Usman Oladipo's brilliance while in school or he is pissed that Usman hasn't, like other former classmates, come to worship him and seek favours from him. Naturally, proud people hate being ignored. And now, his being VP afforded him an opportunity to get back at him. The statement sounds mean and he needs to apologize to Usman Oladipo immediately.

In alternative he should submit Usman Oladipo's name for an immediate juicy appointment as payment for image damage. grin

But on a serious note, VP Shettima needs speak with a lot more caution. DGM in a bank is a senior management position attained through years of legitimate professional work experience.

Gbam! Shetima is simply envious and stylishly ran down the man.
